Nokia E61 Prototype B3.0 : The “Smailer” | Unreleased Rare Black and Silver colour
Quick View💎 Rarity Index: S (Ultra Rare)
👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9.8/10
🕵 Nokia Codename: Smailer
⏱ Life timer: 0 | 📦 Boxed: NO
📅 Release Year: 2006 | 💰 Release Price: ~250 €
📊 Units Sold: ~1M (final units)
📰 Why this phone matters: This unit is a remarkable historic artefact: a prototype Smailer RM-89 hardware build of the Nokia E61, finished in an unreleased two-tone silver and black housing that never reached consumer production. The color layout is unlike any retail E61, combining a silver frame with a black upper section and a unique keypad palette that does not exist on final units. The keypad itself uses a mixed color scheme reminiscent of the later E62 look, but with a configuration that was never approved for market release.Inside the casing you find the clearest testimony to its origin: model field XXXX, prototype build B3, product code 0523307, internal R&D IMEI beginning with 004400, and full Property Of Nokia, Not For Sale, Made In Finland labeling. This confirms the phone as an authentic preproduction engineering unit created during early development cycles before cosmetic design and final materials were locked down.
Externally the device presents the full QWERTY keyboard layout, 5-way joystick and wide landscape display that defined the E61 family. Yet this prototype stands apart because of its unreleased finish: a rare two-tone silver and black shell matched with a hybrid keypad coloring that blurs the line between E61 and E62 aesthetics. The magnesium-alloy structure and rugged business-class construction already appear in place, but the cosmetics clearly represent a transitional stage in Nokia’s decision process.
Although this prototype may never have carried final firmware or passed network certification, its hardware is essentially complete. It captures a frozen moment when Nokia was experimenting with materials, colors and layouts for what would become one of the defining smartphones of the business-centric Eseries. For collectors and historians, this unit is far more than a phone: it is a one-off window into Nokia’s internal design evolution, a rare glimpse of what the E61 might have looked like had this striking silver-and-black, E62-influenced combination reached the market.

Nokia E61i
Quick View💎 Rarity Index: C (Common)
👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9/10
⏱ Life timer: 218h | 📦 Boxed: NO
📅 Release Year: 2007 | 💰 Release Price: ~650 $
📊 Units Sold: ~1.5M
📰 Why this phone matters: The E61i is thinner than the E61 by a small margin but is 11 cc smaller. The E61i has a better build quality over the E61 and possesses a rather stable and solid body. The keyboard has definitely got a few updates – first, the navigation joystick is replaced with a D-pad, which is a great choice by the way. Then there are two new shortcut keys – the Phonebook and My Own key. The My Own key is a customizable shortcut key that you can use for starting an application of your choice. The keys of the QWERTY keyboard have gotten just a notch smaller, but the space between them has increased. Furthermore their tactile feedback is far better on E61i than on the E61. As a result the ergonomics of the QWERTY keyboard have greatly increased.📝 Reviews when released: SoftPedia 🔗

Nokia E90
Quick View💎 Rarity Index: B (Uncommon)
👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9/10
🕵 Nokia Codename: Maxi
⏱ Life timer: 74h | 📦 Boxed: YES
📅 Release Year: 2007 | 💰 Release Price: 800 €
📊 Units Sold: ~500k
📰 Why this phone matters: Nokia E90 Communicator was a high-end 3G smartphone from Nokia, the fifth generation Communicator, and also part of the Eseries. It was announced on 11 February 2007 at the 3GSM show in Barcelona. It succeeded the Nokia 9500 Communicator as the company’s flagship business-oriented device. Its clamshell form and design are reminiscent of older palmtop computers.
Unlike its predecessors, the E90 runs on the S60 platform of Symbian OS (3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 and v9.2 respectively). Previous Communicators meanwhile have been based on either GeOS or Symbian-based Series 80. The move to the common S60 was good for software compatibility, but it did get rid of some exclusive Series 80 UI behaviours. The E90 is also the first Communicator to have UMTS/HSDPA connectivity and integrated GPS. It features OSGi and eRCP, Eclipse RCP for embedded systems.
The first Nokia E90 unit was sold in an auction in Jakarta, Indonesia on 17 May 2007 for Rp. 45,000,000 (5,000 US$). Indonesia being one of the largest market share for Nokia’s communicator series is cited as a reason for the unit’s first launch location.Early user-feedback and reviews highlighted a defect in the microphone of the Communicator. Nokia initially denied the existence of the defect, but Nokia eur;ope later acknowledged it in the Q3 earnings report released on 18 October 2007, and stated that the issue had been fully resolved.
The replacement of the QWERTY-ridden interface of Series 80 with the S60 software, which is designed to be used with one thumb, was criticised by some people.
The Communicator’s firmware version 7.40.1.2, released in late October 2007, added support for A-GPS and improved GPS performance. This version also upgraded the Maps application. As of June 2009, the Communicator’s most recent firmware version is 400.34.93. The free navigation program Ovi Maps is also available for this Communicator (currently just without the free navigation itself).

Nokia J-NM02: Deep Blue Japan Exclusive
Quick View💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)
⭐ WOW Factor: Built in Japan by Nokia Japan, not Finland
👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9/10
⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: NO
📅 Release Year: 2002 | 💰 Release Price: N/A
📊 Units Sold: ~50k
📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia J-NM02 is one of the most distinctive and hard-to-find Japan-only Nokia flip phones, created for the J-Phone network in early 2002. Finished in a deep blue color scheme with a compact external display, SKY Mobile branding, and an elegant Japanese carrier design, this device stands out immediately from any eur;opean or American Nokia ever produced.This unit was manufactured in February 2002 and belongs to the NPY-6A hardware platform, a Nokia architecture used exclusively for Japanese regional devices. The NMAD01 marking inside identifies its specific J-Phone customization group, while codes such as A01-0923JP and JNMA1021492 tie it to a documented production run under Nokia Japan, not Nokia Finland. These production markers alone make the J-NM02 a very uncommon find in global collections.
What makes this example even more special is that it is fully functional. The phone powers on correctly, the external and internal displays work, and you can navigate the original Japanese menu system. Since the J-Phone PDC network no longer exists, very few surviving units still operate as intended, making working examples extremely rare.
The J-NM02 represents a unique moment in mobile history when Nokia adapted its engineering to the Japanese PDC ecosystem, resulting in features, menus, hardware layouts and design elements that never appeared in any global Nokia lineup. Today, it remains one of the most collectible Japanese-market Nokias for its exclusivity, design, and historical significance within the J-Phone era.

Nokia N-gage
Quick View💎 Rarity Index: B (Uncommon)
⭐ WOW Factor: The first Nokia game phone
👁 Evaluation in my collection: Brand New – 10/10
🕵 Nokia Codename: Starship
⏱ Life timer: 0m | 📦 Boxed: NO
📅 Release Year: 2003 | 💰 Release Price: ~ 350 $
📊 Units Sold: ~3M
📰 Why this phone matters: The N-Gage was a smartphone combining features of a mobile phone and a handheld game system developed by Nokia, announced on 4 November 2002 and released on 7 October 2003. It runs the original Series 60 platform on Symbian OS v6.1.
N-Gage attempted to lure gamers away from the Game Boy Advance by including telephone functionality. This was unsuccessful, partly because the buttons, designed for a telephone, were not well-suited for gaming. The original N-Gage was described as resembling a taco, which led to its mocking nickname “Taco phone”.📝 Reviews when released: Mobile Review 🔗
